Eaton Superintendent Randy Miller retiring effective June 29; successor should be hired by April

Eaton Re-2 School District Superintendent Randy Miller will retire effective June 29.

The district's school board will meet with the Colorado Association of School Boards, which it hired to search for Miller's successor, during a work session following its regular meeting at 6:30 p.m. Monday at the district administrative office, 211 1st St., Eaton.

Miller has been Eaton's superintendent for 13 years. He said the board hopes to name his successor by mid-April.

"I'll do whatever the board wants (as far as helping them hire my successor)," Miller said, "but ultimately it's their decision. … I would tell anyone who's interested that you're not going to get a better place."

He said the district will likely ask for a bond issue in November's election, and he'll devote the remainder of his tenure to seeing that through.

Miller, 59, said he wants to spend retirement traveling and visiting his son, who graduated two years ago and is in the military. He has a diverse list of places he wants to visit: Costa Rica, Singapore, and Okinawa, Japan, where his son is stationed.
